A while back, I wrote an open plea for an interview with the young band Burn the Jukebox. While I do not have that interview yet, I will be seeing the band in a few weeks.
BTJ started as a four person band, but the Ethan Cutillo (keyboard/vocals) left to concentrate on school. That left Virginia Franks (bass and lead vocals), Luke Vanchure (guitar) and Carter Dennis (drums). No offense to Ethan, but the band is now a powerhouse trio.
They play a lot of covers, but have started doing original tunes. Virginia seems destined to be the face of the band. She has rockstar written all over her. Luke and Carter are excellent musicians, especially at such a young age.
They come from Pennsylvania and have done several shows around there. Finally, after more than a year of hoping, BTJ is coming to the Chicago area June 6. Specifically, they will be playing in West Dundee, about an hour northwest of Chicago. It isn't close, but after waiting so long, I will take it. I'm also hoping for a meet-and-greet afterwards, like they usually do.
I will recap the event right here. Until then, check out burnthejukebox.com for more info on this rising young band.
